Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular journey over the dramatic Dalmatian coast of Croatia and an extensive panorama of the Greek archipelago before the final approach over the turquoise Aegean Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

English Channel

Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the French coast near Calais.

πŸ”οΈ

Mont Blanc

Glimpses of Western Europe's highest peak on the horizon while flying over eastern France.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

The stunning white-stone islands and turquoise waters of the Croatian archipelago.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·

Cyclades Islands

A sprawling view of the Greek islands like Mykonos and Naxos scattered across the Aegean.

πŸŒ…

Aegean Sunset

Exceptional views of the sun dipping into the sea on late afternoon or evening departures from London.

The right side is superior for sunset flights as the sun will be positioned behind you or to your side rather than directly in your eyes. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the Croatian coastline, which is arguably the scenic highlight of the route. For the best views of the Greek islands, aim for a seat behind the wing to keep the engine out of your photos.

London Skyline

Bird's-eye views of the Thames, the City of London, and the Olympic Park shortly after departing Luton.

Mount Olympus

The legendary home of the gods often appears as a prominent massif to the north as you cross the Greek border.

Muğla Coastline

The lush green hills and intricate bays of the Turkish mainland during the final descent into Milas.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the final 20 minutes, watch for the transition from the blue Aegean to the pine-forested mountains of the Turkish coast. This side is also best for spotting the lights of Sofia and Thessaloniki on night flights.
